Goodbye Grandma...

The day had now come
Sooner than we all thought
But it was her time to leave
Up to God's kingdom she sought.

Her age and Alzheimer's
Finally overcome her mind
She was halfway gone
And about 2/3 blind.

But how could she leave
When she had not yet said goodbye
Maybe she will say it with love
From somewhere in the sky.

I was so angry with the Lord
When He took her from me
First my dad, now my grandmother
The very closest people to me.

But then I seen this figure
Of an elderly woman in the sky
I thought I was hallucinating
When I saw she had wings to fly.

She was on her way to heaven
But stopped to see me first
I nearly passed out
And my heart almost burst.

She said "I walked by your dad
And he told me to give you this."
She extended her opened hand
And laid down what resembled a kiss.

"He said he loves you
And so do I
But you have to make us a promise
That u will no more grieve and cry."

She lifted up my chin
And put a smile on her face
Then gave me one last hug
A warm, comforting embrace.

As she turned to fly away
She glanced back one more time
And I saw my dad flying by her side
The best sight I've seen in a long time.

***...This goes out to my Grandma Rosie that died last year (2010) begining of December.... her B-day was on halloween.... she would have been 93 today... -RIP-

    What a lovely poem by this beautiful lass! I like all paragraphs of this write, the rhyming is quite delightful, and the way you have expressed the sorrowful emotions is really very impressive. You must had been memorizing the past days when you were with your precious Grandma while writing this sad poem. I know that it was not easy.

    Your Grandma must be feeling very proud of you. There's a great love in this write.

    I am really very sorry for your both close people. I know how you had felt on that precise day. But I am also bliss that she is in heaven with your dad and with the Lord. She has now departed from this sinful earth and enjoying the great life in paradise with good people.

    This poem is very close to my heart. God bless you... Keep on writing. Very nicely written this one. 5/5

    Hey girl,

    This is such a beautiful written poem. I felt every word, every emotion you expressed. Tears were swelling in my eyes

    I'm really sorry for your loss x

    It's sad because my grandmother is in hospital right now and was in there a couple of weeks ago as well. She's got dementia and is not 100%.

    I read it and instantly thought of my grandmother,

    She said "I walked by your dad
    And he told me to give you this."
    She extended her opened hand
    And laid down what resembled a kiss
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    My fav part of the poem. This is bittersweet for me. Very heartbreaking
